From Fox News: The Justice Department has formed a “strike force” to assess the evidence publicized by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard relating to former President Barack Obama and his top national security and intelligence officials’ alleged involvement in the origins of the Trump–Russia collusion narrative.
The Department of Justice (DOJ), Wednesday evening, announced the formation of the “strike force,” to investigate potential next legal steps which may stem from Gabbard’s recent declassification of records suggesting that Obama administration officials “manufactured” intelligence to form the narrative that then-candidate Donald Trump was colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Justice Department officials told Fox News Digital that the DOJ takes the alleged weaponization of the intelligence community with “the utmost seriousness.”
A source familiar with the strike force told Fox News Digital that everything is being reviewed and that no serious lead is off the table.
In a press release announcing the strike force, Attorney General Pam Bondi said, “The Department of Justice is proud to work with my friend Director Gabbard and we are grateful for her partnership in delivering accountability for the American people. We will investigate these troubling disclosures fully and leave no stone unturned to deliver justice.”
